Not My Most Manly Moment

While we were in Saint
Lucia, Kellie signed me up for something called the Treetop Challenge: a little
adventure that consists of 11 high wire elements, some as much as 65 feet above
the forest floor.While I have no
problem diving hundreds of feet below the ocean surface in a nuclear powered
submarine carrying multiple intercontinental ballistic missiles, walking on a
wire strung between two trees in the canopy of a tropical rainforest scares the
crap out of me.

Kellie executed all 11
elements with ease. She has great
balance, which she attributes to her low center of gravity (euphemism for voluptuous bootie and muscular thighs). My center of
gravity is somewhat higher (euphemism for big belly and fat head). Consequently, I am somewhat less graceful
when the situation calls for good balance.
The videos tell the story.
